Seriously though, I thoroughly enjoyed this read, "A Witch in Time," the 6th installment of Madelyn Alt's Bewitching Mystery series. "Mysteries with Hex Appeal" Eeek I love it!
Madelyn Alt's talents as a paranormal mystery and romance writer continue to improve since the first book of the series, "The Trouble with Magic." That's not to say her talents were ever less than totally enchanting, not at all- simply that with each new book she propels her readers into her witchy world that is dripping, just dripping, with detail. Ms. Alt's attention to detail is exquisite. The tiny particulars she refuses to overlook add depth and interest to her writing. An example? The scene in the hospital where Maggie's mother hears news of the twin's births for the first time. It literally brought tears to my eyes as I, with the help of Ms. Alt's amazingly clear description, read how she bounced on her toes (completely out of character for the usually overbearing woman) with her arms around Maggie's father. Who writes stuff like that?
No one that's who, except maybe one of the masters, like S. King.
I want to pack Grandpa G. up and take him home with me where I can feed him all the goodies he's not allowed to have. His character is a delight and adds a ton of humor.
Ugh- the elevator scene had me twitching in my seat feeling like I couldn't get a deep breath into my lungs. Really- this gal is goooood.
In my opinion when a reader falls in love with a series of books a certain level of commitment is involved. I, for one, am not a fly-by-night fan. Every writer has a book in a series that might not be quite as exciting as the others (Charlene Harris has at least one of them in the Sookie series yet each one is highly entertaining.) In Ms. Alt's case, her writing is flawless, storylines interesting, characterization superb. I agree with another review posted here- this story was more intimate, more "Maggie." I can't say I don't understand the issues some other readers have, and I too look forward to more magick, more Liss, more N.I.G.H.T.S. and more scares in #7 yet I don't feel the book is lacking in mystery or interest.
I'm only 3/4 of the way finished, savoring the ending as I always do. The sexually-charged yet consistently on the edge playful banter between Marcus and Maggie as they begin their relationship is as sweet as pie, maybe like a molten lava triple chocolate fudge pie dripping with whipped cream, nuts and a cherry ;) Emphasis on the "molten," mind you- hot hot hot!
I look forward to reading more Maggie!!!!
